Presented in Brief.
The national republican convention
was called to order at Minneapolis at
12:24 p. m. Tuesday.
For days before the opening of the
convention the city was crowded with
rlf-lpfriitps and visitors From the time
£>
of the announcement of Blaine’s resigna -
tion as Secretary of State, signalizing
that he had fully entered the presidential
contest against Harrison, the wildest ex
citement prevailed. It early developed
that there wouid be a fight between the
Blaine and Harrison factions. Follow
ing is the summary of the convention
proceedings:
CALLED TO ORDER.
The convention was called to order at
12:24 p. m. After prayer the call of the
convention was read by D. E. Young.
Dr. William Brusb. of Dakota university,
led in prayer. Mr. Clarkson announced
that the national committee had recom
mended Mr. Fassett, of New York, for
temporary chairman. Fassett, who is a
Blaine man, was elected temporary chair
man by acclamation, the Harrison mea
not opposing him. There was great
cheering, and a storm of applause greet
ed him as he stepped forward to read
the names of the committee on credent
ials aod call the convention to order.
Tremendous applause greeted Fassett as
he named the Republican leaders and
said: “Harrison and Blaine.” His
remarks about a “free and honest”
ballot took the crowd immensely. Mr,
Fassett devoted a great deal of his speech
to the injustice of the democratic denial
of suffrage iu the south. These refer
ences finally resulted in the audience call
ing for Reed to come forward. Reed fin
ally rose and mounted the platform to
speak. Reed’s speech was frequently
cheered. Then there were loud calls for
McKinley. The audience rose to their

feet and loudly cheered. At the conclu
sion of McKinley's speech, officers were
announced as having been selected by the
niitional committee. They included sec
retaries, assistant secretaries, reading
cierks and official stenographers. These
temporary officers were elected by accla
mation, and it was ordered that until per
manent organization should be effected

the rules of the last preceding republican
convention.
The call of the roll of states for mem
bers of the various committees was theu
begun. Each state, as it was called, an
nounced, through its chairman, the mem
bers it had chosen for service on commit
tees.
Immediately after the completion of
the call of states and the announcement
of the membership of the various com
mittees the convention adjourned until
11 o’clock Wednesday morning.
SECOND DAY.
The convention was called to order at
11:43 a. m Wednesday. Minneapolis
presented ihe convention with a gavel.
The chairman of the committee on cre
dentials stated they could not hope to
report before Thursday. William Mc-
Kinley, of Ohu, was selec’ed as perma
nent chairman of the convention and
Spooner and Mabone were appointed a
committee to conduct McKinley to the
chair. There was great cheering when
the * hairman of the committee on per
manent organization introduced perma
nent Chairman McKinley and tremendous
applause greeted him when he arose to
speak. McKinley said this convention
would present a platform and candi
date that would meet with the approba
tion of the country and predicted success
in November. He also spoke in great
praise of the protective tariff and its re
sults. He said the party’s duty waste
see that there was a free and honest bal
lot in all paita of the land.
Fred Douglass was called to the plat
form amid great applause.
Bingham, of Pennsylvania, submitted
the report of the rules committee making
thefe rules of the 51st congress the rules of
Ihe convention with necessary modifica
tions. Chairman For.tker, of the com
mittee on resolutions, asked for further
time. Grant'd. Foraker was cheered
by the convention. The rolls of states
for the nomination of nat'onal committee
men were then called. The report of
the committee on rules was adopted.
A number of memorials and resolutions
were presented and referred to the vari
ous committees without being read. On
motion the credentials committee ad
journed till 11 o’clock Thursday.
THIRD DAY.
The Thursday morning session
was a very brief one. The dele
ati-s gathered slowly and by 11
o’clock perhaps three-quarters of
of the delegates were in their seats, and
the galleries were not half full. There
was little enthusiasm manifested. At
11:22. Chairman McKinley, with a
number of sounding blows with thq new

gavel, endeavored to call the convention to
order, but it was some minutes before the
buzz of conversation ceased and the dele
gates took their seat 9 and gave atten
tion to business. Rev. Mr. Brush, D. D.,
ebaucelior of the University of South
Dakota, delivered the opening prayet.
After the conclusion of the prayer the
chair said the regular order was the report
of the committee on credentials. Mr.
Cogswell was recognized. He said:
“The committee on credential is still in
session. It has been diligently at work
and has achieved reasonable progress.
It hopes to be able to report in full to
night and ask further time.” General
Sewell, of New Jersey, was immediately
on hie feet. Since no business could be
done until the conimittee was ready to
report, he moved the convention take a
recess untill 8 o’clock p. m. Mr. Cullorn
tried to intercept General Sewell, but the
chairman stopped him. Then, pending
the motion, Mr. Cullom asked the
convention to receive a resolution
from him about the World’s Fair.
M.r Cullom sent up to the desk a resolu
tion, which was ordered read. The reso-

vention, and calls upon the people, re
gardless of party affiliation, to aid con
gress to make the national undertaking a
success. After reading the resolution it
was referred to the committee on resolu
tions. Mr. Robarf, of Illinois, presented
a resolution (also referred) providing that

standing room, that if any vacant seats

them. The chairman then announced
the question on motion to take a recess.
There were cries of “No” all over the
house, coupled with the cries of “In -
galls.” But in the confusion the chair
man put the motion and declared it car
ried by a vote of 407 to 260.
BUSSELL A. AI.GER.
NIGHT SESSION.
The result of the night meeting in brief
is as fo'lows: The credentials commit
tee was organized,Blaine 26, Harrison 23
Harrison won over three Blaine com
mitteemi n, thus reversing figures. This
gave Harrison the benefit of the majority
report before the convention. That re
port was to unseat 12 Blaine delegates
and to sent 12 Harrison men. Harrison
polled 463 votes to Blaine’s 423,thus giv
ing him a clear majority.
CALLED TO ORDER.
The convention was again called to or
der at 8:45 o’clock p. m. A resolution
admitting members of the Grand Army
of the Republic to seats in the convention
wis adopted, and a message was read
from the mayors of Titusville and Oil
City, announcing ic the world the state
of distress and suffering that prevailed in
those inundated districts, and making a
public appeal for aid. The announcement
of the committee on credentials that a
minority report would be submitted
created considerable excitement, and there
was a painful suspense while these two
reports we r e being orally submitted as to
what would follow. The majority
report recommended that the twelve Har
rison delegates in Alabama, Mississippi
and Louisiana be seated in place of
the same Dumber of Blaine men, and
given places on the temporary roll. * The
minority recommended that the twelve
Blaine men on the temporary roll be
placed on the permanent roll. The gain
in votes in the committee was made owim,
to the fact that the Hm risou men
won over three members of the creden
tials committee and thereby secured a
majority. When Chairman Cogswell
moved that the majority report be adopt
ed he was loudly cheered by the Harri
son delegates, and when Chauncey I.
Filley, of Missouri moved to substitute
therefor the minority report the applause
which followed from the Blaine delegates
told the galleries that the long expected
fight between .Die Blaine and Harrison
forces was on. >,
Mr. Filley made an argument iu behalf
of the minority report. The point he
ipa ie was that the regular organization
of the party in the Alabama case had
been barred from their regular place of
meeting by a United States deputy mar
shal, bpt Mr. Massey, of Delaware, . ibin
tained that the case had beep considered
fairly upon its merits and that the ma
jority report should be adop.<Jd, *tr.
Knight, of California, spoke warmly in
favor of the minority report.
Senator Wolcott, of Nevada, in speak
ing for the minority report, warm
ly denounced not only the dep
uty marshals in Alabama but hun
dreds of office holders who were
today present in the galleries and in the
hall of this convention, crowding out the
people’s delegates in their frantic attempt
to renominate the president. The great
est interest was manifested when Colonel
M. Duffied, of Detroit, the Alger
ipanager, arose to speak in favor of the
tnjnoyity report. Powell Clayton, of
Arkansas, also defended the majority re
port. There was wild applause when
Chauncey Depew arose to support the
majority report, which he did briefly.
Ex-Senator Miller, of New York, spoke
for the minority. Miller closed by Ploy
ing, as a parliamentary motion, that the
Cogswell report be divided and vote
on the Alabama ,party alone. Chairman
CHAUNCEY M. DEPKW.
Cogswell of credentials committee moved
the previous question, which was second
ed by a majority of the delegates of Mas
sachusetts, Deleware and West Virginia.
Senator Quay, rising to a parliamentary
question, wanted to know the effect
of the previous question, if it would
enable them to hare a vote on the sepa
ate propositions involved in the report.
The chair ruled that Senator Miller, hav
ing demanded a division of the proposi-
tion involved in me Cogswell report,
there could be separate votes taken. Both
sides were ready for a vote, and a storm
of yeas greeted Chairman McKinley
when he asked if the previous question
.ihould be ordered. Before this was done,
however, by unnnimous consent the ma
jority report in all cases whire there w r as
no minority report was submitted and
adopted by acclamation.
An amendment was moved to take a
standing vote on the Alabama case, and
when the affirmative vote was submitted,
an apparent majority of the convention
arose. Instantly the New York and Penn
sylvania delegations demanded a roll
call, and it was ordered bv the conven
tion. The interest as the vote proceeded
was intense. Harrison soon took the
lead and kept it steadily. The result was
Harrison polled 463 votes to Blaine’s 413,
thus giving Harrison a clear majority.
When the yote was announced the Har
rison men ebrered vociferously. Tney
were determined to force a ballot. It
took about an hour of maneuvering to
prevent it, when the convention ajourned
to meet at 11 o’clock a. m. Friday,
THE LAST DAY.
At 11 o’clock Friday morning, the
hour set for assembling, the results of the
long night session and anxious caucuses
were plainly visible in the haggard faces
of the delegates who had put in an ap
pearance.
The convention was called to order and
prayer was offer jd by Rev. Dr. Way land
Hoyt of the First Baptist church of Min
neapolis. Dr. Hoyt prayed that the man
to be selected as the standard bearer
might be one chosen by the Lord and a
man after His own heart. At the con
clusion of the prayer, when consideration
of the committee on credentials was be
ing resumed, the chair made the gratify
ing announcement to the convention thai
Senator Quay authorized to say no fur
ther opposition won and b i made to flu
adoption of me majority report in the
Alabama case. Prolonged cheera fol
lowed this announcement of tacit ac
knowlegement of defeat frtm the oppon
ents of the majority report of the creden
tial committee, and their report was
adopted by acclamation. A seperate vote
was demanded by the Mormon contesting
delegates of Utah, on their case, but the
majority report was adopted, and the
Mormons were declared ineligible. The
Alabama state c mtfestees reported that
there was disagreement over the selection
of a national commit eeman, and for a
few minutes it seemed that the rows of
Alabama were once more to be brought
before the convention. “If there is no
objection,” said chairman McKinley, “the
Alabama delegation will be granted time
to correct their arithmetic.” (Laughter.)
“The regular order,” resumed the chair*
man, “is the presentation of candidates
for president of the United States.”
(Cheers.)
It was then decided that the roll of the
states should be and when
Colorado w> reached, S r Jtor W-slcott
arose and iri% stirring speech, and amid
great cheering the name of
James G. hie followers of the
plumed gave a spontaneous burst
of applause. The call of states was re
sumed, and when Indiana was reached
the venerable Richard W. Thompson,
ex secretary of the navy, arose and pre
sented the name of “ the warrior states
man, Benjamin Harrison.” A counter
dilßonstration that surpassed the Blaine
greeting, followed Nit. Thompson's
sm*ch. The call of states wa3 again re
sumed.
Mr. Eustis. of Minnesota, seconded the
nomination of Blaine. At the close of
Mr. Eustis’s speech the chief Blaine
demonstration of the day took place. It
seemed as if it were without end. The
crowd yelled, waved umbrellas, threw
hats iu the air, dauced, cheered, and af
ter every man had come to think human
power must soon overcome itself, the old
stamping cry, “Blaine, Blaine, Blaine,
James G. Blaine.” spread throughout the
audience. W. E. Mattison, a colored
delegate from Mississippi, also seconded
Ihe nomination of Blaine.
Depew, iu a lengthy and stirring
speech, seconded the nomination of Har
rison. Tremendous applause followed.
At the conclusion of the call of states.
ex-Governor Sewell, of New Jersey,
moved that the convention proceed to
ballot. When the state of Ohio was
reached, occurred the most dramatic in
cident ever witnessed in a national con
vention, that of a presidential candidate
challenging the legality ®f the vote ca&if
for him by his own state. Ohio gave
votes for B-njamin Harrison
four for William McKinley, but
ley challenged the vote, statingpmt he
was a delegate from that state, ifroraker
was at once on his feet, have
been retired from this delegation Mr.
Chairman, by your election to the cnair
manship of this convention, and we no
longer know you as a member of the Ohio
delegation.” “The chairman overrules
the point of order,” said McKiqley to
Foraker, “and asks the secretary of the
convention to call the roll.” Another
ovation fell to the lot of the governor of
Ohio, this time, however, from Har
rison delegates, in admiration qf his loyal
support of the president.
There was but little noise throughout
the hall as the secretary of the convention
calmly turned the leaves until the fall of
the Ohio delegation was reached, and
called the first name of the list, that of
William McKinley, Jr. “I vote for
Benjamin Harrison,” said the great pro
tectionist, and the gratifying cheers that
•esounded through the hall wore quieted
only when the object of all this enthusi
asm waved his gavel depreciatingly to
restore order. The call was continued.
Cheer after eheer was given until Gov
ernor McKinley said: “Mr. Chairman
and Gentlemen of the Convention —I
move that the rules be suspended and
that Benjamin Harrison be nominated
unir.animoudy for president of the United
States by acclamation.” The Harrison
people gave one wild, hysterical cheer of
exultation and approval, but there were
cries of “No, uo! Roll call! Roll call!”
from Blaine and McKinley delegates in
vuious parts of the hall. Various gen
tlemen surrounded McKinley and a hur
ried conference was held, The latter
again mounted the platform, beckoned
for recognition and said: “Mr. Chair
man, let me say one word. There are
states, as I understand it, that have not
been reached which desire to record their
votis; and I understand that they desire
to record their votes in the direction of
my motion. (Applause.) I, therefore,
in order to enable them to do so. with
draw my motion.” (Prolonged applause.)
The roll call continued, and showed a
steady and significant gain for Harrison.
At the end it was obvious that he was
nominated by a considerable majority,
but it required the clerks a long time to
foot up the result. “The clerks will an
nounce the result of the roll call,” said
Chairman McKinley half an hour later, he
having resumed the chair in the interval.
“The whole number of votes,” said the
clerk, “is 904 1-2. The number neces
sary to a choice is 453. (Applause.)
Benjamin Harrison receives 535 1-16
votes. (Prolonged applause.)
“James G. Blaine receives 182 1-6.
(Applause.)
“William McKinley receives 182.
(Cheers.)
“Robert Lincoln 1 vote.
“Thomas B. Reed 1 vote. (Applause.)
“Benjamin Harrison having received
a majority of all the votes cast,” said
Chairman McKinley, “is the nominee of
this convention; shall that nomination be
made unanimous?” (Great applause and
cheers and cries of “Yes, yes; let us make
it unanimous.”
“All in favor of making it unanimous
say I,” said the chairman. There was a
storm of ayes. Chairman McKinley never
put the uegative.
“Ic is unanimous,” said he at 4:86
o’clock p. m , and once more the conven
tion gave itself over to one of those
scenes of enthusiasm which had become
so familiar to the proceedings of the day.
A delegate moved to adjourn until 8
o’clock p. m., and although there was a
disposition to finish up the work at once,
the motion prevailed and the convention
adjourned until that hour.
WHITELAW REID SPRUNG.
Immediately after adjournment rumor
went forth that Whitelaw Reid, the
•lifted editor of the New York Tribune,
••d been selected by the delegates of
New York as their candidate for vice
president, and that he would receive the
solid support of the Empire Btate.
CLOSING SCENES.
The movement started on the adjourn
meni|of the day session to nominate White
law Reid for the vice presidency, took
rapid shape, and by the lim; the night
session met it, was an assured fact. The
New York delegates unanimous'y agreed
upon Reid. This endorsement was fol
lowed by one from Pennsylvania.
When the convention met Reid was
nominated by a Nfew York delegate
and his name was received with great
cheers. An attempt was made to run in
ex-Speaker Reed, of Maine, but the
scheme fell through and his uam • was
withdrawn. Several delega'os moved
that Reid be nominated by acclamation,
to which the members agree t. After
appointing Chairman McKinley head of
the committee to notify Mr. Harrison of
his nomination, the body adjourned sine
die.

GEORGIA PROHIBITIONISTS
Hold Their State Convention in At
lanta—The Platform.
The Georgia state prohibition conven
tion was called to order Tuesday morn
ing in the hall of the house of represen
tatives in Atlanta. Delegates from sixty
nine counties were in attendance and the
meeting throughout was harmonious.
The body was called to order by Dr. J.
O. Perkins, chairman of the state execu
tive committee. Dr. Perkins briefly re
viewed the work of the prohibition party
in Georgia, and stated, in a general way,
the principles upon which the party was
founded. He also outlined the proceed
ings of each convention since 1880, and
argued from the increase of interest
shown by the delegates and the result of
each election for the presidency that the
party was rapidly pushing to the front,
and was daily growing in popular favor
and support.
Sam W. Small was elected permanent
chairman of the convention. Mr. Small
spoke with his characteristic ease and
fluency, and entertained the delegates
with an eloquent restatement of their
principles, emphasizing the need of thor
ough party organization throughout the
state, and urging every prohibitionist to
come up to the full standard of duty.
The following platform was presented
by the committee on resolutions:
The prohibitionists of Georgia, in state con
vention assembled, grateful to Almighty God
for the continued growth of moral sentiment
in favor of the cause in which we are banded
together, unanimously reaffirm our devotion to
the organization, principles and candidates of
the national prohibition party.
We believe the time lias opportunely come
when we should perfect our party organization
in Georgia and enter vigorously and enthusias
tically upon practical political endeavors in
every campaign, local,state and national, to the
end that the prohibition of the liquor traffic
shall continue a persistent issue in state and
national attain until the great reform in bothia
fully accomplished.
We believe the total destruction of the liquor
traffic must be wrought before there will be any
true and lasting reforms of the financial and
industrial burdens and amines that afflict the
great masses of our people.
Therefore, we hereby adopt and proclaim the
following body of principles as our political
platform, via:
I. The total prohibition of the manufacture
and sale of intoxicatiug liquors for beverage.
3- The immediate passage by congress of the
long-pending measure for tlio creation of na
tional alcoholic liquor traffic commission.
3. The abolition of all internal revenue taxes
upon the several branches of liquor making and
selling.
4. Unyielding opposition to all species of mo
nopoly in banking, commerce, manufactures,
ti ansp irtation aud communication, and to alien
ownership of lands.
The criminalization of all forms of option
gambling in the natural products of the soil and
of all trusts and combinations to abnormally en
hance the cost of the necessaries of labor and
living,
fl. The fairest and freest possible commerce
upon reciprocal terms with all friendly nations
of the world in the necessaries of life and in
raw materials essential to our mauulactures
and to the most profitable employment of our
American workingmen.
7- The frej coinage of silver and the issue of
legal tender treasury notes until the currency
of the oouutry is equal to SSO per capita ; and
that the volume of the currency be maintained
at that per capita aud the control of the same
be kept within the people’s treasury.
8. The extinction of the national banking
system by the due processes of law ; and in ad
vance thereof the immediate repeal of the na
tional 10 per cent, currency tax and of the pro
hibition which prevents existing banks from
making loans upon real estate security.
9. A graduated income tax which will justly
transfer the burdens of the cost of government
from the millions of people to the millions of
dollars accumulated beyond the needs of ordi
dinary and comfort able"subsistence.
10. The rigid legal protection of the American*
Sunday that it may continue sacred to the gen
eral. orderly worship of God and as iv common
weekly rest day for the American people.
11. Equri suffrage to all adult citizens, native
and naturalized, under such regulations as the
several states may proscribe by law.
12. The Australian system of voting to the
end that we may have an honest ballot not con
trolled hy bribery, miscounted by fraud, or
misappropriated by flagrant robberies.
There was a fight made in regard to
the free coinage plank and it was consid
erably modified. The tenth plank was
discarded altogether as it met with strong
opposition from a “Seventh Day Advent
ist” delegate. With these changes the
platform was adopted.
Sam W. Small was nominated .for con
gress from the fifth congression district*
Nominations were made for statehouse
officers, but were finally withdrawn, and'
the ticket was left to be slated by the
central campaign committee to be report
ed not later than August Ist. A resolu
tion was adopted pledging support to
every prohibition candidate and one in
dorsing the world’s fair.
The following delegates were elected
by the committee from the state at large
to the national prohibition convention,
which meets at Cincinnati: Sam Small.
Walter B. Hill, Dr. Mitchell, Mr. Sibley,
of Habersham, and A. A. DeLoach. It
was decided to let the central committee
fill the vacancies of the district delegates
to the national convention. The conven
tion then adjourned,
